Private message to Ron Weasley

[alt_seamus]

Weasley, I'm really sorry about your brother.

I don't know what they told you yesterday. But, I was there at Snowdonia and saw what happened. So -- if you have any questions, I can try to answer them. If you'd really rather not think about the details though that's fine too, I won't bring it up.

They said he froze up and didn't raise his wand at all when he saw the Muggle.

Is that true?

[alt_seamus]

Yeah.

His wand was in his hand -- well, let me back up. When we arrived at Snowdonia they went over the plans for the hunt with all of us. Where in the resort we should go, what to expect, and so on. Percy wanted to know if we were required to -- um. He wanted to know if he could finish the hunt by stunning his muggle, or if the Killing Curse was expected. People thought it was a funny question but they did tell him, of course you can do what you like, it's your hunt, you know?

Anyway when he came face to face with his muggle, it was a female with ginger hair, like here's the thing, I think someone had arranged for one that would look a little like a family member. I think that's why he hesitated. But then he didn't cast anything at all. He didn't even petrify her when she lunged at him.

Look, I don't know if maybe someone cast something on him or if he really did just freeze up. If someone DID cast something on him I don't know who it was. So many people were angry at him, I don't know if he had any idea -- well. And even if I did know, it's not as if I could do anything about it.

But he's he was your brother and I think you have a right to know what I saw. Even if he was technically killed by a muggle, the muggle might've had a bit of help.

Do you think they cast something on the muggle, too? To make it want to kill him? Maybe it would've anyway, but if someone wanted to be sure...

Could you see either of their faces very well? I mean, did they look like they'd been messed with?

Thanks, Finnigan. It's decent of you to write. Don't know if you'll be there today, but if I may not get a chance to say it in person even if you are.

[alt_seamus]

I doubt anyone would have needed to cast anything on the muggle. They're naturally vicious, and it had a knife and was cornered. Though I suppose they could guarantee -- well, I'm not sure. I couldn't see any of the faces from where I was. I wasn't all that close.

Anyway, I'll be there this afternoon. Mr Rosier, too.
